As of Tuesday, Hurricane Fiona continues to wreak havoc, strengthening into a major hurricane barreling toward the Turks and Caicos Islands. It comes following a hard hit to Puerto Rico, knocking out the power grid and unleashing floods and landslides. Puerto Rico’s governor called the damage “catastrophic.”
If you’re looking for ways to support those affected by Hurricane Fiona, you can find a few resources below.
The Foundation for Puerto Rico
The Foundation for Puerto Rico was funded more than a decade ago with the mission of transforming the island’s economy to be thriving and sustainable.
Comedores Sociales de Puerto Rico
Created in 2013, Comedores Sociales de Puerto Rico is a nonprofit organization that seeks to eradicate hunger in Puerto Rico through strategies of collective work and socialization of resources in favor of the majority of our people.
American Red Cross Puerto Rico Chapter
As soon as weather conditions allow, damage assessment volunteers from the American Red Cross Puerto Rico Chapter will be activated to begin inspections of the affected communities.
WHBY host Ben Cominos spoke with WBAY News Anchor Aisha Morales, on her connections to Puerto Rico. She shares how her family is doing and ways that you can support those affected by Hurricane Fiona.
🇵🇷 PLEASE SHARE 🇵🇷 #PUERTORICO RESOURCES: It's more helpful to donate to groups that are on the GROUND. They need all the help they can get. #Fiona
